Vipassana Meditation camp. 31st December 2011 at Bodhi Heart Sanctury. I attended a 3days course for vipassana meditation recently on the new year's eve of 2012. The whole course was very interesting and results orientated though i did not finish the 3 days. Reason was, i over-stress myself on the 1st day itself. The walking meditation and seating is alot of effort but it is neccesary as it enhance the mind to the deepest. i learning knowingly, knowingly, acknowledge, acknowledge, but do not ingulge on appearances. Vipassana has taught me on how powerful the mind can be...really, if you do vipassana than you would know what i trying to explain here. Teacher: Sister Bee ( last student of Acharn Thate) |  |

Linage of vipassana teachers in Thailand:
Great teachers of the past. Many interesting findings related to this guru monks by lay people during their time were related in many books and by their observence, this information were collected by words of mouth and recorded in Thai languague and later translated to English. I felt lucky as this hard work of translation had benefit me and many others more who are like me. They are now well known for their vipassana meditation method adhering to strict forest monks protocols and discipline.
